#7   Hezbollah Took Advantage of Crisis in Lebanon to Build Gold Reserve, Popularity in Preparation for War with Israel

Good find, Skidmark. Useful insights that raise probably silly questions… Can a shadow bank system be hacked? Or perhaps: how much fun could the clever have once they’d booby trapped laptops, cell phones, and other devices, and were listening anyway?

Not sure but I think most Swiss Accounts are double or triple password protected so if the owners die the bank account is dead unless
- they told someone else the passwords
- they have a will in which the ownership of the account is clearly stated and the bequest of the ownership is also clearly stated

#1  I would think they also had enormous cryto cash accounts but those probably are gone too because only the owners knew the codes and the owners are dead.
